Dallas couple A B Dickard and his wife restored and redesigned a worn 1946 house into a brick home. Dickard, a Ford scheduling supervisor, built most of the house himself with salvaged nails boards and bricks while his wife designed the interior. The project began as a hobby amid postwar material shortages.
The Dickards completed their house in 1948 and have kept building as a habit for 13 years.
